In 1926, de Broglie attempted to obviate the quantum mechanical conundrum 'wave or particle' by maintaining instead that it is 'wave and particle,' reasoning that "quantum phenomena do not exclude a uniform description of the micro and macro worlds..., system and apparatus" (Bell 1987:175).
In 1926, Gregor Wentzel, Kramers, and Leon Brillouin, each independently, invented the 'semiclassical, or WKB, approximation,' a technique in quantum mechanics, wherein "the wave function is written as an asymptomatic series with ascending powers of the Planck constant h, with the first term being purely classical" (Dictionary of Physics 2000:444).
In 1926, Donald Howard Menzel, in "The Planetary Nebulae," raised the possibility that the Balmer emission lines, lines in the hydrogen spectrum created when electrons drop back to a lower energy level, are "the result of photoionization by ultraviolet star light, followed by recombination of free electrons and protons" (Lang and Gingerich 1979:573).

 Constable: Science in Poetry   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
One can easily overstate the degree to which "Moral Science" was science, but nevertheless it gave him a perspective rather different from that of his literary colleagues, who tended to be grounded in history or philology, and very different from that of the first graduates emerging from Literature courses in universities around the world.
Science was, in its ideal form, referential, and operated by means of statements which were verifiable.
A variety of genres will ensure that science is popularized more widely, and more efficiently than it is at present, which is, perhaps, the most important point of all, and since science depends on public support, it is the benefit that I would put forward as the major reward for scientists.

 Science Quotes
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.  ~Henri Poincaré
The radical novelty of modern science lies precisely in the rejection of the belief, which is at the heart of all popular religion, that the forces which move the stars and atoms are contingent upon the preferences of the human heart.  ~Walter Lippmann
Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones; but an accumulation of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.  ~Henri Poincaré, Science and Hypothesis, 1905

“Science fiction is that class of prose narrative wtreating of a situation that could not arise in the world we know, but which is hypothesized on the basis of some innovation in science or technology, or pseudo-science or pseudo-technology, whether human or extraterrestrial in origin.” — Kingsley Amis, in “New Maps of Hell” (1961)
“Science fiction is the search for a definition of man and his status in the universe which will stand in our advanced but confused state of knowledge (science), and is cast in the Gothic or post-Gothic mould.” — Brian W.
“Science fiction is that branch of fantasy which, while not true of present-day knowledge, is rendered plausible by the reader’s recognition of the scientific possibilities of it being possible at some future date or at some uncertain period in the past.” — Donald A.

 SCIENCE
It is, perhaps, hard to set down in writing a complete teaching in Mental Science that will not appear difficult to understand; but this could be said as well of any science, and the Science of Mind is no exception to the general rule.
However, modern science is rapidly giving out a different idea of the universe; for with the passing of matter into a hypothetical and theoretical ether there is but little left on which to hang any belief in materialism.
Science tells us that matter is eternal and indestructible; that, at first, it is an invisible cosmic stuff; and that it gradually takes form through some law working within it.
